Warren Henry Auto Group is grooming future automotive technicians who still are high-school students.

The group that’s been in business since 1976, recently announced the new Warren Henry Technician program in partnership with Miami Dade Public Schools. With this initiative, Warren Henry is hoping to reduce the current shortage of technicians in south Florida and use this platform as a recruiting tool.

The program is designed to welcome 20 students and has a duration of two years. It includes classroom and hands-on instruction reinforced with high-tech computerized learning systems. The content of this program is directly related to the areas of the ASE Certification and includes on-the-job internship training experiences at Jaguar Land Rover North Dade.

Students will also have the benefit of being supervised by some of the best-certified master technicians in south Florida.

This certification program will start on Aug. 24.

“The shortage of automotive service technicians is undeniable, but we want to be part of the solution. That's why we have come up with this incredible initiative that is also going to contribute to the growth and education of technicians in our community,”, Warren Henry Auto Group chief executive officer Warren Zinn said in a news release.

Warren Henry Auto Group retails a variety of vehicle brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Infiniti, Audi, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM.
